We would like to have the same data mining options that can be found in Skyward Student. HR is missing the And/Or Filter . This would give us a another level to filter down the information.

Adding Subject Profile Building Location
Currently we have a group of Assignee's for Finance PayRoll and Benefits where any one two or more people can address the Task but they would know according to the entity they are assigned to. We have over 48+ entities and each person is assigned to a school. This would keep me from having to create 30+ organization charts for each type of form to achieve my goal. If they can see the entity then the person assigned to the school could open and then close the Task. The expected out come would be to include the entity location. TO…

Expense Reimbursement Verification per Fl Satute
We have a couple of districts that is trying to setup to use Expense Reimbursement but they say according to Statute 112.061 requires that each traveler must certify the data on the form is correct. I can't find a way to be sure that this is included. This is the verbiage: Fl Statute 112.061 11.(b) (b) Voucher forms.—1. The Department of Financial Services shall furnish a uniform travel voucher form which shall be used by all state officers employees and authorized persons when submitting travel expense statements for approval and payment. No travel expense statement shall be approved for payment…

Pseudo Approvals for Fixed Assets on EEs
We need a way for our employees to be able to initiate changes to their fixed assets that are checked out to them. We want them to be able to say that they do or don't have something checked out to them - and then have that go through approval.

Timekeeping Rule-Tracking hours only
Right now as it stands for timekeeping rules that are set up to track hours only there is no way to get the time sheet back to edit after it's been approved by the supervisor. For example a coach has clocked in out for most of the week. The AD approves the time sheet. The coach then says they forgot to clock in out on Friday. Since the time keeping rule is set up to track hours only there is not a way to get those hours added in. I'd like to see a way to be able to get…

VENDOR ACH SETUP
We are moving in the direction of using more ACH processing and have come across the vendor "Alliant Energy" who requires certain criteria that Skyward is not able to support at this time. Per Aaron King (Service call: 3683187) the part that is not support is the Addenda 7 part of the attached form. Since we make weekly payments to this vendor (because of the various buildings with different due dates) we would like to see if something could be worked out to accommodate ACH processing.

Inactivate funds
We need to be able to in activate funds. The funds have changed over the years and so some are no longer used. Having them show up on our cash summary as zero's takes up unneeded space. It would be cleaner and more clear to the user if the funds could be inactivated and not show up on reports.
34 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback!
Would you expect to be able to inactive funds-only or an entire account?
Do you have examples of cash summary or reports to review?
Thank you!

Require a separate approval for certain vendors
We would like to monitor purchases from a particular vendor Amazon. By having an approval by vendor we can approve prior to the purchase regardless of the dollar amount of the purchase. Without this enhancement we either don't have prior authorization for the purchase or we have to approve all purchase orders (which is not currently a requirement for our district). This would put a significant burden on our Purchasing Department. Staff consistently purchase items from Amazon that are not necessarily appropriate for school use (via pcard). We are adding Amazon as an ECommerce vendor so we can ensure these…

We do have a few approval options currently available -
- Are these approvals in addition to the current approval chain or looking for completely separated approval chain than what is in the req/PO group?
- Do you use a specific account for eCommerce orders?
Thank you for your additional input!

Time Off - past/future
Right now with time off an employee can request time off anytime in the past or future.
1. Would it be possible to have a utility/setting that does not allow time off to be requested more than 30 days out??
2.This request is a little more difficult to ask about but here's a scenario...
An employee gets a time off accrual semi-monthly. The employee is currently out of time off. On 10/26 the employee is out sick. However on 10/31 the employee accrues 4 hours of sick leave. As it is now the employee is able to wait until the…29 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We’ve reviewed both requests. For 1 we are not considering it for development at this time. The idea will remain open for continued voting and commenting.
For 2 we suggest you try this instead: On the Time Off Codes Maintenance screen (WH\TO\PS\CO\TO) there is a checkbox that says “In Employee Access, calculate available time off as of the date of the request.”
Thank you!

Mass Delete Pay Code
In the Mass Processing utility I'd like to see a way to mass delete a pay code with a particular account number even if it has history. We tend to have grants that pay salaries that are only good for a number of years. To be able to mass delete a number of pay codes at the same time would be helpful and time saving.
40 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We’ve completed research and team analysis. We’ve decided not to pursue this request in the near future because of the data integrity ramifications of deleting historical records.
This Idea will remain available for continued voting and commenting.

Account Code Attached to Rate Code
Be able to attach account codes to a Rate Code in subtracking rather than having to manually change each account code for a specific rate code. That way the correct account code will post automatically when using a particular rate code with no manual change necessary. This would save our district hours each month in manual changes.

Force Period Pay Amount
Payroll is currently modifying pay records to use the amounts desired as the current frequency override only provides a way to get close. Additionally if the assignment record is every exported again the manual adjustment must be made again to maintain the desired period pay amount. Need a field on assignment - payroll information to allow the entry of a period pay amount which would then be exported to payroll. The field would follow the same rules of reset for the current pay frequency override at the beginning of the next fiscal year. Attached word document shows an example person…

Display timesheet in Unsubmitted even if no hours
Could it be set up so a timesheet is created even if there are no hours recorded and have it display in Unsubmitted Time Sheets for each week there is a workweek schedule? This would be for timekeeping rules that use Annualized Pay based on Employee’s Schedule (see attachment for screen shots). Currently the Unsubmitted Time Sheets area doesn’t show timesheets for weeks where the employee didn’t clock in for the entire week. This could be a problem since the employee is automatically paid using annualized pay and it’s possible time off or worked time was supposed to have been…
